"Oregon Coast Beach Connection" is the name of an huge, comprehensive website launched by Newport-based tourism publication Beach Connection, featuring in depth virtual tours of the upper half of the coast and a myriad of other particulars helpful to the visitor. It is discovered at www.beachconnection.net.
Oregon Coast Beach Connection consists of archived content material from the print publication, which distributes from Seaside to Florence and from Portland to Corvallis - about 160 miles of coastline. There's an up-to-date events calendar, news about new corporations and changes on the coast, a big amount of information on lodging and dining, as well as a guide to Lewis & Clark spots - but with a bit of a twist.
The virtual tour - while not entirely completed - functions an typical of 60 pictures and stops for sections of the coast like Seaside, Cannon Beach, Newport or Nehalem Bay. Some locations have less, and some are not up yet. It is an particularly valuable tool for the visitor-to-be or typical visitor to the coast for those quite familiar with the location who want to make far more discoveries, or for those who want to explore ahead of time prior to coming out.
In numerous circumstances, the virtual tour moves the web surfer from beach spot to spot just a handful of feet at a time. Some parts of the tour are like standing in the identical spot and hunting north, west and south, sometimes in increments of numerous feet. Other sections show different moods and diverse sides to a specific beach, and give exclusive, detailed glimpses into what entertaining can be found on this particularly pristine and notable section of U.S. coastline.
There's also a list of every single bar and lounge on the upper half of Oregon's coast ( www.beachconnection.net/pubcrawl.htm).
Coming soon will be a section on coastal geology, archived operates from regular Beach Connection columnists (such as former Oregon Coast Guests Center executive director Guy DiTorrice), amongst other additions.
The internet site at the moment boasts upward of 300 pages, and is expected to include more than 500 when the virtual tour is entirely finished. All photographs and text are the creation of editor Andre' Hagestedt, who is a former writer with Statesman Journal, KXL radio, The Oregonian, Eugene Weekly, The Rocket, Valley Company Weekly, amongst quite a few others. He lives part time in between Portland and Nehalem.
